As a seasoned gamer of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS), I must confess that Carrie Ann Inaba’s critique of Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson’s freestyle routine left me somewhat bewildered. With a life-long passion for this show, I’ve seen performances that were truly “underwhelming” and others that were nothing short of magical.
Audience members are curious to learn Val Chmerkovskiy‘s response to Carrie Ann Inaba’s criticism of Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson’s Dancing with the Stars performance. Inaba had expressed that she found the freestyle routine of the show’s winner underwhelming. Nevertheless, several judges and a former contestant, Chmerkovskiy, disagreed with her assessment. Here is what Chmerkovskiy commented on Inaba’s remarks.
What did Val Chmerkovskiy and Kelsey Anderson say about Carrie Ann Inaba on DWTS?
On November 26th, contestant Joey Graziadei and his dance partner Jenna Johnson presented a tennis-styled freestyle dance for their performance on Dancing with the Stars Season 33, set to Jamiroquai’s hit song “Canned Heat.” Most judges lauded their act, but Carrie Ann Inaba’s critique stood out. She described their routine as somewhat lackluster and pointed out that due to the tennis racket, some of the angles needed to be precise and they didn’t quite pull it off.
Johnson’s boyfriend, Val Chmerkovskiy, found Inaba’s negative criticism hard to swallow. He swiftly responded to her comments on social media, voicing his displeasure. On Instagram, he shared a story and wrote, “What did you say about his racket swing needing to be tighter? What?!”, clearly showing his frustration. Additionally, he expressed further disappointment by stating, “10 weeks of hard work for that?! Incredible.” (Based on US Weekly report)
Kelsey Anderson, Graziadei’s fiancée, shared a similar perspective with Inaba’s remarks and expressed her disagreement vocally. Right from her seat in the audience, she immediately started booing, making it clear that she disapproved of the judge’s comment.
Fans have been dissatisfied with Inaba’s remarks towards the Season 33 winners, who were criticized despite offering something distinctive on stage. Previously, DWTS judge Inaba faced criticism for perceived bias against Chandler Kinney throughout the season. However, some believe she attempted to compensate during the finale by giving her compliments. On social media, many fans have voiced their irritation over Inaba’s less-than-favorable comments about popular contestant pairs.
